Are there other names for the drug heroin?

Answer 1

The word morphine is derived from 'Morpheus' the god of dreams in Greek mythology. Chemical name for morphine is: (5 alpha, 6 alpha) 7,8 didehydro-4,5 epoxy-17methylmorphinan-3,5diol. It is an opiate alkaloid and a constituent of opium which is the name given to the dried juice of the unripe seedpods of poppy flower (Papaveretum somniferum). Codeine and heroin are derivatives of morphine. Codeine is methylmorphine and is well-known for its analgesic, anti-tussive and anti-diarrhoeal properties. Heroin is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from morphine and is chemically known as diamorphine or diacetylmorphine. Heroin is highly addictive and its abuse has disastrous implications both for the individual and the society. Morphine is a controlled drug from prescription point of view and is usually prescribed as morphine sulphate or under different trade names e.g. MST, MXL, Oramorph and Sevredol etc.
